[3.16] LL VD Spellslinger | 8.2 k ES | 75%Block / 75% Spell Block | not recommended anymore
"
:)
In the progress of making something juicy.
Tempted to go for a second elevated mod, but the risk is huge.
Conc has no harvest tag, so it can't easily be replaced.
+flat Crit (crit) and hypo (cold) are easy enough to replace.
Working on the flat defense now and adding crit now.
Shouldn't take too long.
Then the lab run begins..
Oh boy there is so much more min/max potential now with this build with Maven Orb and harvest its insane. Unfortunately i have a few other crafting projectis going for my Gladiator build and this build is queued up.
You should had started with the right base that already has the mana reservation enchantment though. Getting the enchant costed me 2 weeks of running the god damn lab daily.
Hey hey people zzang here time to provide another supreme build to do everything the game has to offer.
This build is for you if you like massive single target damage combined with tankiness that has screenwide AoE autoaim one button gameplay skill which off screens and clears all game content including Hall of Grandmasters easy and deathless.
☑ T19 100% Delirious max juiced map deathless - official God Tier build
☑ Solo Delve 1700 T2 Azurite easy game
☑ Easy AL 8 Sirus sub 2 minute kill and any other content in the game
☑ Detonate Dead replaces explody chest - very fast clearspeed
☑ No need to get carried by Headhunter
☑ Autotarget off screen one button gameplay build no need thinking while playing
☑ Pretty Tanky with 10k ES capped block/spell block
☑ Stun & Freeze Immune
☑ Up to 2000 ES Leech/second
☑ 2000 ES regeneration/second
☑ Righteous Fire sustain while in combat
☑ Not negative Chaos resistance
Why my build?
There are plenty of Volatile Dead Spellslinger builds but the builds published on the forum are quite low dps and/or low survivability. This build combines superb single target dps with high tankiness and insane clearspeed which makes you not rip against bosses. This build manages T19 100% Delirious content and is NOT using Headhunter or Voices Build there are not many builds at all that do this deathless. With the Detonate Dead update the performance of this build has gone through the roof.

The Helm Enchantment for 15% Spellslinger Mana Reservation enchantment is now MANDATORY. There is no way around it without significant sacrifices which are not worth it.
For League: You need the mandatory 15% Mana Reservation Helm Enchantment plus 2X Herald of Anguish with Herald of Ash Mana Reservation or Self-Control Cluster Node to run this setup
Flasks:
Jewels:
Note: NNeto inspired me to use +1 AoE gemns in my helm for further min maxing damage because i was able still achieve 10k ES when going for high ES on boots by skipping movement speed since movement happens almost only with Dash + Second Wind + additional CDR% from gear.

My Level 100 Build

You need community fork PoB otherwise the link dont works.
Recommendation for league without high-end budget:
https://pastebin.com/21A1kiQR
Bare Minimum Setup for League
https://pastebin.com/b6H8qAw3
Warning for league players: It will be expensive and difficult to get into "comfortable" range of gear before build feels good. Play at your own risk in league.
The % fire damage not only increases our direct damage with DD/VD but also the secondary corspe explody fire damage. A Wand with spell damage % instead of % fire damage therefore will be weaker as spell damage has no effect on the secondary corpse explode damage.
The +1 ALL gem levels is without words simply the best. Every aura, every spell gets +1.
Mechanics
Spoiler
TL,DR:
As of patch 3.12 aim for 66% Cooldown Recovery Speed in total (boots, belt, gem). This will give you the best single target dps. CDR% is a huge single target damage increase and its not visible in PoB!
The attack speed will get carried by "Corpse Pact" ascendancy as long as you have a 1.5 APS wand no need to worry about your attack speed. Barrage support takes care of triggering your spells.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The following paragraphs are for STD only and dont factor in Harvest crafting.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Wand:
I recommend to buy a 2x T1 Prefix Wand with open Prefix. As for Prefixes go for T1 Added Fire Damage Prefix and T1 Added Fire Spell Damage or +1 Fire Gem instead.
You can take a gamble with Annulment Orb slam if the Wand is cheap but got 3 Suffixes. If you have open Suffix you can Craft Prefixes cannot be changed and Scour the Suffixes. Afterwards meta craft the a prefix and "Trigger a socketed Spell when you use a Skill". The last Suffix can be slammed with an Exalt as you are Aiming for a T1 Crit Multi which provides the most damage.
Boots:
I used Potent Chaotic and Potent Alchemical Resonators with Frigid and Metalic Fossils on ilvl 86 Shaper Base boots to hit the neccessary resists and 15 % CDR. At least one prefix need to be free for Cannot be Frozen or for additional meta mod crafting prefixes.
FAQ
Spoiler
Important: Some FAQ may be outdated and are from patch 3.11
1. Q: Is the Abyss Socket in the gloves neccessary?
A: No, i recommend for more budget oriented build to use a normal 4 socket gloves with lvl 3 Arcane Surge because this way you wont need Arcane Surge on a Ring and it will trigger all the time due to constant Dash + Immortal Call casting.
2. Q: Should I use Tailwind Boots?
A: Yes, if you can squeeze in Tailwind Suffix while beeing Immune to Freeze and be capped resist and thats perfect but Tailwind is not neccessary Immune to freeze and %CDR major has priority.
3. Q: What is the estimated budget to get this build rolling?
A: With roughly 20 exalted you will be full equipped and rolling. Some of the more expensive pieces can be left out for later as great upgrades such as Bottled Faith - not neccessary but great to have.
Keep in mind that this is a high end version of Spellslinger with the highest ceiling per investment meaning that you get big gains with big investment. Also keep in mind that this build is not very good as a league starter unless you are very good at currency making and experienced with the game as a whole and the Spellslinger mechanics.
4. Q: Is a rare ES helm a viable alternative with Spellslinger Enchant because Crown of the Inward Eye is so expensive wiith the enchant?
A: Yes, can be used of course as an alternative. I would recommend it especially if there is a cheap Spellslinger enchanted rare ES helm available. But statwise you will need a mirror tier helm to even come close to Inward Eye bonuses in damage and ES. Check Point 9 for further details of fixing mana issues.
5. Q: What Watchers Eye mods are preferable?
A: I recommend to go for Anger Penetration and Zealotry Crit or Penetration but there are plenty of combinations that should provide you with good dps for example Anger Penetration and Anger Multiplier. I recommend chechking out the damage numbers in PoB before you buy a jewel! Leech Zealotry mod is not neccessary but a nice 3rd mod but dont focus on it.
6. Q: Why do you have Ghost Reaver skill node?
A: Because it doubles are ES leech. We get ES leech from the skill node Thaumophage.
7. Q: Why PoB does not work?
A: There are 2 possible reasons:
Import Code 302 means you cannot import it because the paste.com website demands a captcha which can not be done via PoB. In this case you have to import the raw code manually.
The other reason is: You are not using the PoB community Fork minimum version 1.4.169.3 (or newer)
8. Q: Is there a starter variant for this build?
A: No, low life ES is never a starter build in no league ever. Refer to Zizaran`s
Life Starter: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RzgzJdPEnL4 build and transition in end game for low life ES around level 85+ better level 90.
9. Q: Im playing League and i dont have the essential mana reservation helm enchant. What can i do to fix mana reservation?
A: There is nothing you can do anymore. The Mana Reservation Enchant plus self control medium aura cluster jewel or 2x Herald of Ash Mana Reservation from rings is absolutley mandatory.
10. Q: Im having trouble getting a perfect Large Cluster Jewel on what affixes should i focus?
A: A fix from GGG is coming for Cluster Jewels see here :https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2885363
In the meantime focus on 2 sockets + Thaumophage and one of the both prefixes (Conjured Wall/Magehunter).
11. Q: Im having survivability issues what to do?
A: This is a very general question and can have a lot of causes. For example your playstyle could be the wrong approach for this build. Hold distance there is no need to hug enemies.
Secondly i saw many people mentioning survivability problems who only had 6-7k ES and maxed damage instead. This is the wrong approach. Aim for 9k ES at minimum before you go all in damage. At 10k ES you will feel close to immortal in normal maps from personal experience. About T19 100% delirious content: Keep in mind that it will always be dangerous as its the hardest content in the game and only a few builds manage to do it deathless.
Feedback from Players
Spoiler
This is a new section showing the success players had with this build:
Just pushed to 100 in Harvest League with this build! I initially made my own changes with tree and items ( mainly just going for more damage and less ES, pushing pob and Poe ninja ) and I’ve realised the build is perfect as is! It’s performs amazingly well, Ridiculously Tanky and the Damage once I switched to DD is more than enough for anything in the game.
I will say that it’s not soo smooth if you don’t have all the ideal pieces and nodes but once you do Oh man it’s worth it!
Props to you ZZANG for a great build.
"
Changed the build a bit to be more tank and i'm really happy with the results, really recomend it
Hey zzang,
I switched from a life build to yours 4-5 days ago and the damage / survivability is amazing.
I already have okayish gear, but there is still so much room for improvement ! I love it.
Here is my stuff right now. 8810 ES and insaine leech / regen. I decided to use Circle of anguish with reduced reservation and put HoA with blood magic. It works great and i can now put CDR on boots / belt / helmet (lol at the enchant price ...)
Hey everyone. Just wanted to post some of my gear and provide a little rundown of how the build is working for me.
Currently 83. 5.7k ES. Build is stupid strong at the moment. Really wish I could fit in more ES since 5.7k is pretty low IMO but I think i'd have to invest quite a bit.
This build is a blast to play. I finally managed to do deathless A8 sirus last night, other bosses besides harvest are just straight up delete at this point.
Sitting on 9k ES.
Awakener 8 down, one silly death..
But the entire game seems total faceroll!
Great clearspeed only limited by Dash.
Otherwise bosses, shaper, Sirus everything dies easily and I feel super tanky.
LVL95 now.
ALL of this without any Awokened gems and a pretty mediocre wand.
Gonna farm one awokened spell cascade and see how T19 100% delirus maps are.
Still using like 1C boots lol.
And also very cheap helmet :)
Crafted my belt and gloves very easily thanks to Harvest.
Think I should craft better gloves without dex next and belt still waiting to unroll armour defence mod.
Didn´t use any seed buying. All self farmed Harvest wise.
So after killing Sirus 8, Uber Elder, doing ALL T16 maps with ease I decided to do a quick video to cap everything off.
I added link to this build in the video description and mentioned I got the ideas from here.
I still use different gear and most will say I run with stupid budget gear :D
But as you can see this build is AMAZING even on a budget at the very end game!
Best build I´ve played in POE now.
Been having a blast with this build so far everything works perfectly. Only thing im doing slightly different is having a 2x 2L on gloves Flame Dash + Arcane & Lv 21 Precision + Blood Magic works perfect!
Having an absolute blast with the build. Started out with the life version (Zizaran's version), then slowly transitioned to HOA with crit, then finally LL. Harvest lets me make incremental upgrades that just make progression feel so good.
Super happy with my new wand. Just need to spam remove+add fire for carbonising, hillock 28, ele to quality, divine.
I know I could've used double essences, but I got really really lucky with a base I bought which had +1 to all spells and T1 Fire spells fractured.
Costs:
Base (3ex)
Harvest crafts (6ex)
Meta crafts (5ex)
Really awesome build, it just melts everything once you get all of the gear together.
The one button play is really nice, excellent bosser and map clearer.
Working on some upgrades here and there, def looking for a better watchers, and will look to get the +1 shavs down the road.
Might look to mirror that explody wand once I make a zoomer.
Thx for the guide man.
"
The build is amazing, and it's also the one I min-maxed the most of all the ones I played. Thanks to harvest crafts I managed to cap chaos resistance and make all elemental resistances equal (for Wise Oak's defensive mod).
To be honest I think I reached the point where each new upgrade would cost tons of exalts, while not giving that much of a boost, so I think I'll stop here. Maybe I'll pick better Watcher's Eye and maybe I'll craft some proper boots (I managed to get strength on rings, allowing me to get rid of strength on boots, meaning more energy shield on prefix).
Deathless A8 Sirus, clears maps fast (can do one Sirus kill every 1 to 1,5 hours if you rush for boss and seeds, doing only legions and blights on the way), deathless Simulacrum with double boss on last wave. It wrecks all content, no problem with Uber Elder either.
Thanks for the build, it's great fun, and easy to play too. It's like super-buffed SRS. I love them balls.
No update, itms from standard or old league. Untrsutful.
Erm you can do all items now with harvest. There will be minor difference like a little bit block chance and a bit damage from rings thats it.
Also you missed the update AL 9 Maven Video and also the updated pob for 3.13. I will do a 3.13 100% T19 Delirious run when i get time but for now im busy crafting.
On the offhand chance one got a HH , could the belt be used to a decent effect with this setup?
yes! I replaced my belt with HH long ago and i love it.
From what I understand, Zzang just doesnt like HH cuz he regards it as broken/op (and well, yeah, it's riddiculously strong, so hes kinda right...)
It works very well with this setup, you must beware that you are losing quite some ES by using it, thou - on the other hand it saves you a suffix for dexterity (for example on your gloves) since HH should easily provide the needed dex.
If you get lucky, you might find y cheap corrupted HH with ES or with an increased aura effect...
I'm using this one for example: (the double corrupted ones are usually not cheap thou!)

Can someone knowledgeable answer this question? In the undertaker cluster, why is flat damage picked instead of corpse life? Doesn't corpse life scale better since it raises base damage?
